The 1/55s and HCMs were available in my part of the US in the early and mid 80s. They were sold through Japanese owned retailers for somewhere between $15 and $25.

Save yourself $50 and then burn that on shipping?

And this leads us back to the "where are our Destroids and Zentradi mecha"? They would not cut into the profits of the 1/48 line as much as I cannot see Bandai offering us Destroids and Zentradi in 1/48 scale. But you never know.

New El-Hazard sequel crowdfunding campaign
DewPoint replied to renegadeleader1's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I believe that this is good example of things that should be left alone. If they produce a bad squeal, it will greatly diminish the love fans feel for that story. Seriously, when we are told "don't watch the 2nd season, it's horrible!" most people will watch it anyway and regret it. -
If you do not "unlock the part" in step 4 and go right to step 5, you can break the hinges out just as seen in the 1st post.

The backpacks on my Arcadia Roy and Hikaru folded over without issue. When I got Millia, straight out of the box, the backpack hinges were super tight. When I tried to fold it over it didn't want to go past 80 degrees. At that point the backpack looked like it wanted to separate. I could see a gap forming between the tail fin top plate and the thrusters. At that point I stopped to examine the hinge and review the instructions. My Max had a similar very stiff hinge. It doesn't seem to be that much of a problem after the initial transformation. But that first time is scary.
-
From my experience, you basically broke it. I almost broke mine as well. Arcadia stated that they tightened up a lot of the joints starting from the Millia release. You can't fold the backpack the way you see in Jenius' transformation guide anymore. The backpack seems to hook into the bottom of the back plate just beyond the hinge. Because they tightened up the joints, the rear hinge dosen't move as readily as the previous releases. So as in the Chinese video posted, you need to make sure you bend the rear hinge to unhook the backpack from the back plate before you fully bend it over or you end up blowing out the hinge just like you did.

Yup! you can do A LOT when you own Gundam and Sunrise.

I guess that's why it's called "Super Dimension?"

According to the Macross Mecha Manual "reverse vernier thruster nozzle mounted on the side of each leg nacelle/air intake." Makes sense to me although it was never depicted in use in the show. The "18 low-thrust vernier thrusters" were never shown in use in the show either. I honestly never knew what those were back when I first watched the show. The appeared to be giant screw heads to me. The blisters on the nose cone were depicted as lasers on several episodes, but I think they should have also been thrusters. Since the show was riddled with production errors, only Kawamori knows for sure.

I just had a thought. Since the current VF-1s are largely a 9 year old version of a 36 year old design, how much more innovation are we expecting from these toys? At what point does "better" become simply "different"? I know that with the varying opinions, we could nit-pick anything to death.

It would seem that it depends on the item. Sometimes the limit is 3, sometimes it's 1.

The computer and electronics super geek thread
DewPoint replied to azrael's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I agree with azrael. Motherboards, processors, and RAM should be bought together. You save more money in the long run and run into fewer issues. The big question is always going to be "what are you going to use the computer for?" This is what usually determines what parts you buy. My last build was a home theater PC built around a 3rd Gen I7. I quit on-line computer gaming years ago. For Web surfing, YouTube and watching movies, it's still more than adequate. If you use it for gaming or video editing, you'll probably end up spending a lot more on your rig. If you can afford it, it's probably best to replace the entire rig all at once for the exact reasons you have already stated. -
Thank you sir! She did indeed say that. I guess I'm going sit back and watch the pre-order madness and see how fast this thing will sell out. That is unless it retails for some ridiculously low price. Then I may reconsider.

I probably missed it, but when did we know that is is 1/48 scale? I didn't see it on any of the magazine pages posted. Honestly, I think 1/60 would make more sense as it would scale in batter with the existing DX Chogokin line. Because I too believe that more than a handful is too much. I notice when people complain about Arcadia pricing here they gloss over the fact that a lot of Arcadia's Macross products are not just "naked" Valkyries. Most of Bandai's DX Chogokin Valkyries are "naked." If you add the price of the super/armor parts to the price of the Valkyrie, the cost is comparable. If it is 1/60, I may bite, I'll probably pass if it is indeed 1/48.

No. There is another. Evolution Toy.
